Beth is ready to flee India and come home and live with her brother but her husband controls all of the money. Beth is desperate to get herself and her three precious pets home, where she can re-start her life.

He allowed her to rescue Waffles, Snicker and Doodles but threatens to hurt them too when he goes into violence rages. Beth just wants to come home with her pets and get away from the abuse.
